Nuns evacuated as monastery torched | 22:13 -> 00:31 | B92
KOSOVSKA MITROVICA -- Thursday ââ¬â KFOR troops south of Kosovska Mitrovica this afternoon evacuated a group of Serbian Orthodox nuns from the Devic monastery near Srbica.
Church officials have denied earlier reports that the monastery was on fire, saying it is being protected by French KFOR troops.
The wave of violence also spread to the municipality of Novo Brdo, where a new municipal building in the village of Bostane was razed, the Kosovo Coordination Centre said this evening.
A large number of buildings in the municipality built over the past three years have been destroyed, said the Centre.
All Serbs have been evacuated from the village of Stara Kolonojia in Novo Brdo, following evacuations from nearby Bica and Grabac.
